The big crunch

She looked around, darkness seemed to be the only visible matter that surrounded her. All the efforts looked like wishful thinking now, she said to herself. "But it all looked right? Why the sudden change now?", her thoughts wandered as she questioned her own actions over all the years. Pointlessly, like a lost child, she stumbled, crying while she moved the mouse from one link to another as she always did. Digg , she was looking at, and all the information bumping into her made her even more confused. Business, the entertainment, the Page-3-type-of self-deprecating-news, the politics which seemed to be in vicious loop with varying contexts. And out of nowhere, there was this one link, which caught her attention. She smiled and said to herself 'what if?'. The job, monotonous, eating into her day by day, slow and steady and the all the physics she gave up for a some paying job. Sigh!
"Follow the heart", flashed a movie on HBO. 'Right' and she dug deep into the articles related to the 'link'. All the particles seemed to have a big crunch after years of disintegration, the big bang and what followed!

P.S: What is with this classical sciences, the social sciences, philosophy, music, the arts in general etc which makes that 16 hour day so enjoyable? Some of us will have to keep wondering, what if? :)
